This paper concerns how languages bundle an existential claim and>an ignorance inference in a nominal expression. I present a case study on epistemic indefinites (EIs) in Cantonese and show that Cantonese EIs have a different morphological makeup (m + zi + WH ‘not + know + WH’), when compared to other more discussed EIs. I suggest that the ignorance component associated with mzi-WH is a conventional implicature and that m-zi obtains an adnominal usage via grammaticalization. It denotes a choice function that comes with an ignorance component that is inherited from the predicative meaning of m-zi.

ABSTRAKFungsi pilihan kode tutur dapat diartikan sebagai penggunaan pilihan kode dalam suatu tuturan. Adapun, tujuan penelitian ini ialah menganalisis fungsi pilihan kode tutur dalam ceramah K.H. Anwar Zahid, Ustaz Abdul Somad, dan Ki Joko Goro-Goro. Data dikumpulkan dengan metode simak. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode padan, metode kontekstual, serta dilakukan dengan teknik baca markah. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data, kode yang ditemukan dalam ceramah K.H. Anwar Zahid, Ustaz Abdul Somad, dan Ki Joko Goro-Goro adalah kode yang berasal dari kode Jawa, Indonesia, Sunda, Inggris, Arab, dan Melayu. Pilihan kode tutur yang ditemukan dalam ceramah berbentuk alih kode, campur kode, dan tunggal kode. Fungsi pilihan kode tutur yang dominan muncul adalah representasi nilai pendidikan, ajang eksistensi dan sarana komunikasi, serta sarana kontrol terhadap masyarakat.ABSTRACTThe speech code choice function can be interpreted as the use of choice of code in a speech. Meanwhile, the objective of this study is to analyze the speech code choice function in the speeches of K.H. Anwar Zahid, Ustaz Abdul Somad, and Ki Joko Goro-Goro. The data were collected by simak method. The data analysis was conducted by using matched method, contextual method, and also by mark reading technique. Based on the results of data analysis, the code found in the K.H. Anwar Zahid, Ustaz Abdul Somad,and Ki Joko Goro-Goro speeches are codes derived from Java, Indonesian, Sundanese, English, Arabic and Malay codes. The speech code choice found in the speech is the form of code switching, code mixing, and single code. The dominant of speech code choice function is the representation of educational values, the arena of existence and means of communication, and the means of control over society.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
